White Water Rafting & Abseiling - King River Melbourne

Enjoy the excitement and exhilaration of white water rafting on the King River and abseiling at Wabonga Plateau. Your day will begin with a safety briefing from your experienced guide before getting kitted out with your helmet paddle and life jacket. Then it’s time to hit the water to learn the basic commands that you will need to get you through the 16kms of Grade two to four rapids ahead.(Rapids are graded from 1-6 with 1 being easiest and grade 5 being the highest grade permitted for commercial rafting groups.) As your guide yells out to you “forward hard paddle” you will explode through forty non stop action packed rapids with names such as The Escalator Weir Surfing Wave Dual Flush Playground Ego Thumper Churner Double Barrel and the Whirlpool. There will be plenty of time to have fun surfing waves crashing through stoppers and enjoy numerous games. The King River is suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. It’s then time to dry off and have a hot lunch before tackling the Wabonga Plateau 30 metre abseil. These cliffs are big slightly overhung and overlook the river you just conquered in the morning. Steady your nerves as you back off the edge. As your confidence grows take on the challenge of forward abseiling. You can expect your day to finish at approximately 5pm.
